Is there a more daring life waiting for you?
Do you feel you're not living your most genuine life? Like you're moving through your days okay enough, not depressed, but not entirely fulfilled either?
We've been there. And that's why we're here: to invite you to turn down the volume of the outside world, and listen more closely to your life speak:
• What is the life that only I am meant to live?
• What does purpose feel like, not in theory, but in my body?
• What would it mean to show up in my relationships and work as more fully myself?
As kids we were often asked "Who do you want to be when you grow up?". And perhaps just as often, the same adults who asked the question also projected onto us their own expectations of who we should become.
We grow up and it doesn't get any easier. There are mouths to feed, families and partners to please, taxes to pay.
When then, will we dare to live the life that more truly belongs to us, if not now?
“Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am.”

The Journey
What You'll Experience
We believe growth doesn’t happen only in silence or only through challenge—it lives in the balance between the two. Between slow mornings and bold adventures. Deep conversations and playful moments. Solitude and genuine connection.
Restore your energy
Slow Living
Slow mornings, yoga, meditation, time by the pool, reading in the garden and space to simply be. A chance to breathe deeply and enjoy a rhythm of life we rarely allow ourselves.
Find your tribe
Connection
Shared meals, honest conversations, laughter and the kind of friendships that often continue long after the retreat ends.
Expand your comfort zone
Adventure
We’ll go outside, get our hands on the earth, surf Atlantic waves, and discover Portugal’s northern landscape.
Return home differently
Inner Work
We’ll uncover the thoughts, patterns and fears that shape the way we love, choose and live.
Our Retreat Program
Day 1
Give and Receive Welcome
The first day is all about landing well. We'll settle into the villa, share our first delicious dinner together, and relax.
Day 2
Letting Go
A day dedicated to telling the truth—to ourselves first. Through guided experiences, we'll begin letting go of the stories and patterns that no longer serve us before celebrating together around the fire with music, dancing, and good company.
Day 3
Listen to Your Life
We'll spend the day immersed in nature, hiking through breathtaking landscapes, sharing a picnic beside natural lagoons, and slowing down enough to listen more closely to the voice of our life.
Day 4
Learning From Those Who Dared
We'll visit a local regenerative farm and meet Fausto and Maria, our friends and farmers who chose the unconventional path of building a life aligned with their values. After a tour, we'll enjoy a farm-to-table lunch prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients by Fausto and Maria.
Day 5
Building Courage
We'll spend the morning by the Atlantic, stepping outside our comfort zones through an optional surf lesson, while those who prefer can simply enjoy the beach and ocean. We'll also enjoy delicious local food and continue our practice of listening to our inner teachers.
Day 6
Taking it Home
Our final day is about integration. We'll gather in the garden, reflect on everything we've discovered, and close the retreat with a final circle that helps carry these insights back into everyday life.

Nata & Carlota
The central question of my life has always been: what makes us truly fulfilled, and how can we reach our full potential?
I've traveled the world in search of answers — studying Social Sciences at IE University in Madrid, and spending over five years volunteering to support women through sharing circles and honest conversations that create space for deep healing and liberation.
After university, I built a career in an international tech company in Madrid. From the outside, it looked safe and successful. But I knew it wasn't my path — so I quit, and fully committed to the journey of helping others.
Since then, I've built a community of more than 50,000 people across different platforms, sharing my personal growth journey. I'm a certified somatic psychology facilitator and coach, drawing on different psychological modalities — along with my own lived and healing experience — to help others transform. I've had the privilege of guiding over 200 participants through my signature programs and retreats.
At heart, I'm an entrepreneur, creating deep, meaningful, and transformative experiences that drive change and liberation in women.
I can't wait to connect with you and embark on this adventure together in this intimate Portugal experience.
Hi, I'm Carlota. In 2023 I left behind a career as a Communications Specialist to dedicate myself fully to what I can't help but do: write, listen, research what it means to live a truer, wiser life.
Since 2020, I'm the producer and host of Wiser Now, an award-nominated podcast where I interview wise people about becoming and initiation, about purpose and vocation, about how to cultivate the courage necessary to live whole lives in a world that's breaking open.
I write essays and fiction. I'm currently in the final stages of writing my debut novel, 'I Said It Wasn't About Sex', which follows Olivia, a young aspiring writer caught between a comfortable life in the city and monogamous relationship with Fred, her former professor, and the call for her liberation: intellectual, relational, spiritual.
I'm also a certified integral yoga teacher, holding weekly classes online and in Lisbon.
I feel honored and excited to go on this journey with you :)
